Why You Will Fall in Love With The 2016 Kia Sorento

byMelissa PhoenixonOctober 9, 2015

Kia wants people who live in Miami to be able to get away, so they made the Kia Sorento Miami, and although the addition of Miami to the end isn’t official it fits so well it should be. Kia knows that drivers work just as hard as they play—or used to. Those were the glory days of America, back when things seemed a little better off and there was no recession in recent memory. Kia doesn’t think in those terms, though, as a manufacturer that just wants working people to be able to get away for a little while and forget about their troubles. Isn’t adventure what America is all about?

The Perfect Escape Vehicle

This crossover SUVlooks especially good cruising the coastline of Florida, something to keep in mind about the Kia Sorento Miami. With an initial price point of $24,900 MSRP, there isn’t anything out of reach when it comes to this escape vehicle. J.D. Power awarded the Sorento the “Highest Ranked compact Multi-Purpose Vehicle in Initial Quality,” and “Highest Ranked Midsize SUV in Initial Quality.” Those awards come with long names, but what it boils down to is that J.D. Power and Associates puts their stamp of approval on the Kia Sorento Miami. That isn’t something to be taken lightly.

And those were just model specific awards for Kia. Wait until you hear the accolades of the brand overall. In 2014, Strategic Vision awarded Kia the title “Best Mass Market in Strategic Vision’s 2014 Total Quality Study.” Kia was proud to receive the 2014 Kelly Blue Book Brand Image Award for “Best Value Brand.” In 2014, Kia ranked in the top three-quarters of the Top 100 Best Global Brands, and in 2013 Kia was ranked in the “Top 50 Best Global Green Brands 2013.” This means that the Kia Sorento Miami came from such a thoroughbred background that its achievements aren’t really that much of a surprise.

Fuel Efficient

Entry level Kia Sorento Miami utilizes a 2.4-liter engine that musters 185 horsepower and generates 178 pounds per feet of torque. That might sound like an engine that would guzzle gas, but that couldn’t be further from the reality. The Sorento L’s engine gets 29 highway miles per gallon. That means that the impact on the driver’s wallet will be minimal, especially when that number is contrasted with other vehicles that claim to be fuel efficient but aren’t anywhere near that rating. Drivers of the Kia Sorento Miami won’t have to worry about being responsible for what some scientists are calling a global temperature rise, and that will give them the peace of mind that goes along with being a responsible. And, at its heart, that’s what makes the Sorento so great; a return to the idea that people need to escape from the mundane and ordinary in extraordinary ways.

Safety

Safety is something to be taken seriously all over Florida, and it’s something taken seriously by the Kia Sorento Miami. If the driver of a Sorento gets in a crash they will be near instantly surrounded by a blossom of air bags that will shield them from nearly every angle. It’s truly a sight to see, but one Kia hopes that drivers never have to experience for themselves. But if they do, they’ll also experience many of the other processes and systems in place intended to keep people safe in the event that tragedy tries to strike. Because the last thing that someone trying to escape with their family wants to worry about are things like, “Will my family be protected?” and “If something happens will I regret purchasing this vehicle?” For many families hanging on to outdated vehicles due to the financial crunch some are still feeling, it’s time to upgrade. The money spent on a vehicle that is actually suited to protect your family in the event of an accident is money spent on peace of mind.

And a peace of mind is what the people are saying they feel when they purchase a Kia Sorento Miami. Not just peace of mind but peace of bank account because they don’t have to worry about driving a gas guzzling vehicle. And not just peace of mind because of saving money, or peace of mind because of helping save the world by using fuel-efficient technology, but peace of mind because Kia has the same vision for them and their families that they have. When goals align like that it’s hard to imagine there isn’t some kind of inherent sense of security knowing that far before you ever stepped foot in your car or got behind the wheel, Kia had already taken all the necessary precautions safety-wise to give your family the greatest chance at the safest travel.

What they won’t tell you about, though, because they’ll forget, are all the options when it comes to what model Sorento drivers can choose from. The L, LX, LX V6, EX, EX V6, SX V6, LIMITED, and LIMITED V6. So there are definitely options available, and for some the options that afford more power than fuel efficiency will be the way to go. Respectively, the price ranges from $24,900 all the way up to $41,300, so those drivers who feel like making an investment in themselves and their future can do so. Every model will have that Sorento style to it, something that others will try to duplicate and find none too easy.
